I made muffins for breakfast. Shocking, I know. Trust me when I say this muffin pattern is a newly acquired passion of mine; although I have not idea why I didn’t discover it sooner. I have also recently discovered Pintrest. I found a recipe via Pintrest for bacon and cheese breakfast muffins. I’m a sucker for good breakfast food, so I was all about trying that recipe. It was fantastic! Today I wanted breakfast muffins again, but I wanted to give the recipe a little twist, so I substituted turkey sausage and skim milk (to hopefully lighten it up a bit), amped up the garlic, and included smoked gouda cheese to keep it smoky. Voilà! Cheesy sausage muffins were a hit with the husband and the toddler. This is an important culinary rule of thumb… make the original recipe at least once as it as written, then add your twists on later attempts. That way if it flubs, it’s easier to figure out why.
